Stimulating interest in learning: a bibliometric review from 2014 to 2024

ABSTRACT To gain a deeper understanding of the developmental trends and hotspots in research on learning interest. By using the bibliometric analysis method, we analysed the citation network and co-occurrence network of papers on learning interest published from 2014 to 2024. The analysis focused on various aspects, including temporal trends, publishing journals, countries, institutions, and research hotspots, resulting in the construction of a knowledge graph. The findings reveal a recent decline in the annual number of publications. The journal Research in Science Education has the highest number of publications, while the United States leads in the total number of articles. Among institutions, the University of Helsinki stands out as the most prolific contributor to research on learning interest. The primary research topics include STEM education, situational interest, academic self-concept, mathematics self-efficacy, interest development, and teacher care. Finally, we propose some measures to promote student interest to assist educators.

Exploring Religion and Spirituality in Social Work Practice: A Wisconsin Case Study.

Research suggests spirituality is linked to positive health outcomes, but social workers report barriers to incorporating it into care planning. The literature suggests general interest in learning and executing social work practice involving religion/spirituality (R/S) intentionally. While some empirical study has been conducted, this work is largely superficial and undeveloped. Finally, a changing R/S landscape in the United States further establishes the need for deeper, more nuanced examination. This article explores the actual role that R/S have in social practice and who supports these practices. Wisconsin social workers were surveyed (n = 578) using the Religious/Spiritual Integrated Practice Assessment Scale and other items of original design. Results confirm interest among social workers to include R/S in practice, but formal training is lacking. The data reveal a profile of practitioners who incorporate R/S, correlated with religiosity, religious conservativism, age, and race. Implications include enhancing mentorship, internships, and education to increase efficacy in utilizing R/S in the field.

Public perception of chiropractic in the Taiwanese population: a cross-sectional survey

BackgroundResearch on perception of chiropractic is abundant in Western contexts, yet sparse in Asia. This study aims to bridge this gap by examining the perceptions of chiropractic among Taiwanese adults, focusing on demographics, utilisation, beliefs, and understanding.MethodsAn adapted survey with 27 close-ended items was administered to assess Taiwanese adults’ perception of chiropractic. The electronic survey, using Qualtrics, was delivered worldwide via Taiwanese Facebook groups from January 31 to March 31, 2024. Descriptive statistics, including frequencies and cross tabulations, were performed.ResultsA total of 769 individuals were surveyed, with 475 participants providing complete data. Over half of the participants (62%) had never visited a chiropractor, but in those who had visited a chiropractor 78% reported satisfaction. Of 475 participants, 45% considered chiropractic care safe while 34% were unsure. Though almost half (42%) were unclear about what chiropractors do, most participants (67%) expressed interest in learning more. Among the 151 participants with prior experience of chiropractic care, the demographic profile was 54% women, and individuals aged 28 to 37 (44%), and those with an undergraduate degree (52%) were most common.ConclusionOverall, our study found a positive perception and high acceptance of chiropractic among the Taiwanese population; however, generalisability may be limited due to the risk of selection bias. An understanding of the chiropractic profession was notably limited. Hence, efforts are needed to enhance awareness of chiropractic accreditation, clinical competencies, and its potential role in public healthcare in Taiwan.

Exploring Function Granularity for Serverless Machine Learning Application with GPU Sharing

Recent years have witnessed increasing interest in machine learning (ML) inferences on serverless computing due to its auto-scaling and cost-effective properties. However, one critical aspect, function granularity, has been largely overlooked, limiting the potential of serverless ML. This paper explores the impact of function granularity on serverless ML, revealing its important effects on the SLO hit rates and resource costs of serverless applications. It further proposes adaptive granularity as an approach to addressing the phenomenon that no single granularity fits all applications and situations. It explores three predictive models and presents programming tools and runtime extensions to facilitate the integration of adaptive granularity into existing serverless platforms. Experiments show adaptive granularity produces up to a 29.2% improvement in SLO hit rates and up to a 24.6% reduction in resource costs over the state-of-the-art serverless ML which uses fixed granularity.

From Abstract Concepts to Engaged Learning: An IVR Game-Based Framework for Physics Education

Physics education often faces challenges in communicating abstract concepts effectively and maintaining student interest. This study explored the integration of immersive virtual reality (IVR) with game-based learning to improve educational impact and student engagement.

Building a Decentralized Biobanking App for Research Transparency and Patient Engagement: Participatory Design Study.

Patient-derived biospecimens are invaluable tools in biomedical research. Currently, there are no mechanisms for patients to follow along and learn about the uses of their donated samples. Incorporating patients as stakeholders and meaningfully engaging them in biomedical research first requires transparency of research activities. In this paper, we describe the use of participatory design methods to build a decentralized biobanking "de-bi" mobile app where patients could learn about biobanking, track their specimens, and engage with ongoing research via patient-friendly interfaces overlaying institutional biobank databases, initially developed for a breast cancer use case. This research occurred in 2 phases. In phase 1, we designed app screens from which patients could learn about ongoing research involving their samples. We embedded these screens in a survey (n=94) to gauge patients' interests regarding types of feedback and engagement opportunities; survey responses were probed during 6 comprehensive follow-up interviews. We then held an immersive participatory design workshop where participants (approximately 50) provided general feedback about our approach, with an embedded codesign workshop where a subset (n=15) provided targeted feedback on screen designs. For phase 2, we refined user interfaces and developed a functional app prototype in consultation with institutional stakeholders to ensure regulatory compliance, workflow compatibility, and composability with local data architectures. We presented the app at a second workshop, where participants (n=25, across 9 groups) shared thoughts on the app's usability and design. In this phase, we conducted cognitive walkthroughs (n=13) to gain in-depth feedback on in-app task navigation. Most of the survey participants (61/81, 75%) were interested in learning the outcomes of research on their specimens, and 49% (41/83) were interested in connecting with others with the same diagnosis. Participants (47/60, 78%) expressed strong interest in receiving patient-friendly summaries of scientific information from scientists using their biospecimens. The first design workshop identified confusion in terminology and data presentation (eg, 9/15, 60% of co-designers were unclear on the biospecimens "in use"), though many appreciated the ability to view their personal biospecimens (7/15, 47%), and most were excited about connecting with others (12/15, 80%). In the second workshop, all groups found the app's information valuable. Moreover, 44% (5/9) noted they did not like the onboarding process, which was echoed in cognitive walkthroughs. Walkthroughs further confirmed interest in biospecimen tracking, and 23% (3/13) had confusion about not finding any of their biospecimens in the app. These findings guided refinements in onboarding, design, and user experience. Designing a patient-facing app that displays information about biobanked specimens can facilitate greater transparency and engagement in biomedical research. Co-designing the app with patient stakeholders confirmed interest in learning about biospecimens and related research, improved presentation of data, and ensured usability of the app in preparation for a pilot study.
